Roger Ebert, Peter O'Toole, and Jason Patric at 2004 Savannah Film Festival
The Simpsons are fairly surprised to find themselves in a movie; they can't believe "anyone would pay to see what we did on TV for free." But I suspect a lot of people will...The movie is funny, sassy and intelligent in that moronic Simpsons' way.
